Navigating through Unix
Learning and becoming familiar with UNIX commands is necessary for smooth navigation throughout UNIX. You have already seen some examples
of transferring files, file (un)compression and (un)archiving, and file system commands from our previous discussions. At first I thought
that I'd compile a wonderful reference sheet to help you along the way, but then I found these on the internet. The following two pages
contain great reference sheets that none of mine could compare with, so please take a look at them:
Just-a-little-bit-a-UNIX
(http://www.usd.edu/trio/tut/unix/index.html) A summary of commands that is very well organized and color-coded from University
of San Diego.
UNIX Command Summary
(http://www.stanford.edu/group/dcg/leland-docs/unixcomm.html) A summary of useful UNIX commands that you'll come across alot.
Very helpful and understandable.
These are links are for the Emacs and Pico text editors. We have not really talked about text editing in this workshop, but these
reference pages are pretty thorough on the matter. Please take a look at them and experiment creating your own text files on UNIX. You will
need to know this information.
